R.I.P.
These kind of news reports is what's holding me back from getting a bike license, especially I don't want to put my girlfriend's life in danger.

I agree with Marco. If you think it's no different than a car, then you're retarded.

^ this is very true you can be the best rider in the world and you can get killed by someone who doesnt shoulder check when changing lanes. I am more scared about the people driving the cars than myself causing an accident on a bike.

good luck with a bike

Even if the chance of getting into an accident was the same as a car, what's the point? It's all about the survival rate.

Driving a bike can be safe, its the other drivers that don't see them that makes it so risky.

I'm not implying anything or being disrespectful, but how come people always assume that its always a cars fault in these crashes? Just throwing that out there.
